I am building a supermotard style blast.I am in the process of wiring.I assume the diodes in the fuse block are for the safety switches.If I eliminate all the switches and run the tan/yellow wire from the integrated ignition module to diode#2 then ground the other side of the diode will it run?  | ||

Ahhhh me boyo - you make me proud - I hope someone has an answer for you - but if not the regular KV section may have your answer, but wait and see - these Blastards can suprise ya! GT - JBOTDS! EZ  | ||

Why did you chose to do that instead of just splicing the wires together so the bike thinks the switches are closed all the time? | ||

PS cool project | ||
| Dfishman |
Because I want to do it right the first time. | ||

Do you have a wiring diagram? | ||
| Dfishman |
Yes | ||

Df: Welcome to the thumper side. James and I just went through this. Maybe he can remember how it's wired. I'm sure he'll post if he does. I opted to bypass (splice) because I really didnt want to pull all the wiring out as we're a little short on time to get the bike ready to race (stock class). I see by the pic of that fine ride, you'd dont have that option. | ||

I like the Tank...a lot, What size is it? How much? And probably most important how easy or hard was it to install? Very cool BTW...and MORE PICTURES PLEASE | ||

I took a new king sporty tank($87 from Jihreh cycles)cut out the tunnel,welded in a new tunnel shaped to fit the backbone,filled in the bung for the petcock & relocated it.I cut out the filler neck & fit the buell cap with extra steel under it for tapped holes in order to screw on the cap.A little sanding,filler,epoxy primer,block sanding,base coat,taped off stripes,lay in stripes & clearcoat.There you have it,a tank with way too much time in it.  | ||

Cool project. Re: Safety switches: It depends what you want to do. The easiet way is to ground pole 85 (the TN/GN wire) of the starter relay, and to ground the LTGN/GY wire going to the ignition module, pin 5. That will effectively bypass the BAS, the kickstand switch, and the clutch switch. Grounding the TN/GN wire running to the clutch switch should effectively bypass all the safety switches except the BAS. BTW, your way will work too (I'm assuming that you mean the TN/Yfrom the BAS) as long as you ground the starter relay. Otherwise the bike will run, but not start. This also leaves the BAS functional.

I do believe that is the first custom tank built for a Blast, at least, that I'm aware of. It looks great! | ||

Thanks Jprovo,you too Naustin | ||
